Abstract excerpt
BMS-818251, a fostemsavir analog, is a next-generation HIV-1 attachment inhibitor with enhanced potency and a similar resistance profile. By using ex vivo viral outgrowth assays with HIV+ donor samples, we demonstrate here that BMS-818251 exhibits superior viral suppression compared to temsavir, the active form of fostemsavir. To map potential resistance pathways, we employed deep mutational scanning and...
